How it All Started

We have to go back pretty far to get to the beginning. It started with a snack stand in 1947 on US1 in the quaint town of Hobe Sound, Florida. Founders Nick and Vera Algozzini along with their children Phil and Elaine, served food and cold beverages. Their snack stand was frequented by the local Coast Guard and residents. As time passed it grew to include fresh oranges as well as juice. Then they added Conch Shells, Cypress knee clocks, and real Cayman gators. Really! Again it grew when the founders made a trip to Hawaii. They fell in love with the beautiful, colorful Hawaiian shirts and dresses. They brought some pieces home with them, and the rest is history. They developed a business filled with cool tropical clothing and unique Island gifts.

Roxanne, granddaughter of founders Nick and Vera Algozzini, has decided to continue on with this family tradition as a web based business. She along with her children and 65 years of passed on experience have come together to create the essence of what it means to be a true Tropaholic.

So if you love Palm Trees, the ocean, sand between your toes, cool tropical drinks, the smell of coconut oil, and fiery tiki torches, etc. Then we hope you will join us on an incredible journey of peace and tranquility by becoming a Tropaholic too!
